EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Vegetable SeecU 



BUSH BEANS 



WAX PODDED 



Hodson Long Pod Wax 



Enormous Yielder. Never Affected by Rust or Blight 



CA The strong, sturdy plants often attain dimensions 

 2*4 feet in height, and bear great quantities of 

 long, meaty pods, measuring 7 to 8 inches in length 

 and of a waxy cream-yellow color. The ample foliage 

 sheltering the pods from the hot sun renders them ex- 

 ceptionally tender, brittle, and if picked before too old they 

 are stringiess. free from fibre and of fine table quality. 

 This variety is remarkably free from bean diseases. 

 Not a trace of rust, blight or mildew has ever appeared 

 on a plant or pod in our trial grounds or fields during 

 the years we have been growing it. The Hodson Long 

 Pod Wax comes in about two weeks after the earliest 

 dwarf varieties, but for main crop it is desired for both 

 the private table and for market growers on account 

 of its phenomenal vigor and productiveness. The 

 plants should be thinned out to at least 6 inches apart.
